Upon A Dream to Car Lip Sync

A lover lost in a dream

Two drivers lost in a song

Upon A Dream (English sonnet)
Upon a dream enchantment floats on you
Forever lost its meaning in your smile
As moments drift beyond this tender while
And heart beats to a song it never knew
-
Enthrall each wish in heaven’s mist you style
Each whisper brings another hope come true
Is this the kiss enchantment wanders to
Is this a vision lovers did compile
-
Each fragrant breeze now carries me away
To splendors and surrender without end
Upon this dream enchantment puts me through
-
And from this dream my passions will not stray
Enchantment’s meaning ever will portend
As I now float on every breath of you

A lover lost in a dream is encapsulated in this English sonnet. There are two unusual things going on in this sonnet. Normally an English sonnet of this type follows this rhyme scheme: A/B/B/A, B/A/A/B, C/D/E, C/D/E. To accomplish the sense that the lover is lost the "you" rhyme is reintroduced into the triads. Thus the last line is very similar to the first. The word "Enchantment" is in every stanza. So, we have a sonnet, with no sense of ending and covered with enchantment.

There were times I just stared at Arlene. I wondered to myself, could this really be happening? How lucky I was that a person like Arlene was a part of my life, As if being with Arlene, a dream, was not enough, I entered into a fantasy world. A world beyond description. Time, in this realm, had no meaning. Was it a minute? Was it an hour? A waking dream. But was it a dream? There was an inspiration to it. A motivation. And from these stares, these dreams. came the dreamer.

What is a dream? I think the biggest confusion is that dreams hold so many meanings, so many intimacies. so many facets to all of us. What we believe about ourselves effects how we see, take in dreams. For some dreams are the adventures we have a when we are asleep. For some, dreams are hopes or wishes of something more. For some, dreams are both. Let me take one step further. I believe I am a dream. I know my actions have helped and/or motivated others. I believe I am one of many dreams. We all may be dreams; Not only in our action or beliefs, but in what people believe about us. To make things more interesting, we may be one of those people who are motivated by, believe in, that dream of us. What is a dream? I lay one more thought for our consideration: Our life is a dream. Think about it or maybe I have taken things too far. I look back at my life and what else could it have been but a dream and the possibilities of what yet lays ahead. I am certain we can all relate. What is a dream? While we figure it out, Enjoy.

Back to the dream of the sonnet: Luther Vandross "Always And Forever"

A new terror may be coning to our roads

Lip sync (short for lip synchronization) is a technical term for matching a speaking or singing person's lip movements with prerecorded sung or spoken vocals. Artists often lip-synch during strenuous dance numbers in both live and recorded performances, due to lung capacity being needed for physical activity. Studio C has uncovered that lip synching may be a driving hazard.

This poem speaks to me on so many levels. How do you distinguish a dream from reality? Dream enchantment this I know, it's like a magic spell. Sometimes a dream does not become a reality and you are left with haunting dreams unfulfilled. The pain can be unbearable when souls meet in another realm, but not in this worldly plain. Ok, now I'm crying going to find a tissue :(

This is such a moving outreach. All I can say is never give up on your dreams. In a dark hallway, a true dreamer can create a door. (It may take some time or practice) Thank you. Trust. Believe. Every great story has something to overcome.

Life is a dream, and we are often dream-led, attempting or hoping to make our dreams a reality. It is wonderful when that happens. I enjoyed this, Martin, very much. I love hearing about your life with Arlene. What rich memories you have.

Another lovely sonnet, Martin. You have posed some interesting thoughts on dreams. For me - even though my life at times has been very difficult - I have had someone to walk the path with me and share the load. Having been raised with a ringside seat to my parents (often tempestuous) relationship ... that has been a dream for me - all the sweeter, for the knowledge, that love and companionship are not a "given" on this earth. Often, enduring love is found by chance. A dream is finding that which you never really believed could happen to you ... and treasuring it.
